Rheovis^® PU 1256 EC

Low- to mid-shear rheology modifiers with high active content​.

Rheovis PU 1256 EC is an associative polyurethane thickener designed to modify the rheology profile of aqueous polymer emulsions. It is more effective in anionic emulsion types, pure acrylics, and styrene-acrylic systems. It is recommended for use in architectural paints, emulsion paints, adhesives, and etc. It can be co-formulated with other thickeners such as cellulose derivatives and acrylic thickeners.
